PermaNet® 10/48/6 Electric Netting

Use PermaNet for sites that have installation problems for permanent wire fences (hills, rocks, curves, trees, no machine access). It keeps sheep and goats in and predators out. Can stop a wide range of animals.

How does it compare to our temporary nets (ElectroNet® and E'Stop™, etc?)

Designed to be left in one place for months or years. For this it has stronger, heavier, larger PVC posts with longer, thicker, steel spikes, supporting the net better through wind, rain, ice and snow.

It's taller, 48"--therefore more reliable.

It's a very good conductor (low electrical resistance). This is critical as weed contact may become heavy.

Supplied in many lengths--to enable users to buy the right length for each situation.

Posts are available with a single spike (SS) that goes into the ground or double spike (DS) that goes into the ground.

Post spikes are 8" long and 0.31" in diameter on the single spike posts.

Post spikes are 7" long and 0.31" in diameter on the double spike posts.

Posts are spaced every 12.5'.

48" tall.

Comes in 25', 50', 100' or 150' lengths.

43 Ohms of resistance/1000 feet.

150' rolls also come in green/black. Green horizontals and black verticals allow this net to blend aesthetically into natural backgrounds.

Each net comes with 1 Warning Sign and 1 Repair Kit.

Pos/Neg fences—are for dry, sandy or rocky conditions. Ideal for situations when there is too little moisture in the soil to properly ground the fence.

Benefits

Sturdier than other nets with regular posts. Still easy to move if needed. Secure for a wide range of animals. Visible for animals against all back grounds. End posts act as built in gates. DS posts are more stable in soft soils.

Installation

See our PDFs and videos above for installation instructions.

Weeds must be controlled for PermaNet to remain effective. Either move and mow as needed during the growing season, or spray herbicide (see photos above) along the bottom strand of the net. If you can’t do this, PermaNet may not be the right net for you.

Remember...netting must always be properly electrified!

Precautions

This is a pain barrier, not a physical barrier. If animals are scared or starved it will not keep them in.

It is best to have animals trained to electric fencing before you turn them out in the net only. The first time you put the animals in the net, you should be available to watch them for a while. That way if one were to get into the fence and get caught, you can turn the power off and get them loose.

Even though this net is more stable than other nets, extra posts may still be needed to keep the hot strands off of the ground.

Use only with a low or wide impedance intermittent pulse energizer. Warning! Do NOT use continuous output energizers with electric netting due to risk of fire. (Fi-Shock™ brand energizers which are sold as low impedance, continuous current output should NOT be used with electric netting.) All energizers sold on Premier's website use an intermittent pulse and are suitable for use with electric netting.

Dry conditions and wintertime usage may reduce the effectiveness of electric fencing.

Dry or frozen ground many cause the NetPost spikes to bend or break if inserted with force. Pilot holes may be needed.

Troubleshooting

If the voltage drops below 3000v on the net, you need to turn off the energizer and unhook the net from the energizer. Test just the energizer by itself. If the voltage is 5000v or higher on the energizer the problem is in the net. The most common problem is that the lowest 'hot' strand has been caught around one of the metal spikes on the posts and is shorting it out. The net must be at least 2" away from anything metal (metal posts, existing fences, spikes on support posts).

Warranty

With proper care, netting should last 5-7 years. Replacements will be prorated.

Listed below are recommended optional components. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our fence consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

When we install a net that needs to stay up for a year (in some cases even longer) we use PermaNet. We developed it as a semi-permanent fence to use on our East Farm. The fences were non-existent but we needed the pasture immediately. We put together PermaNet and were so satisfied we decided to offer it. It is heavier and bulkier than ElectroNet and ElectroStop, but it is designed to be installed and left… Read More » alone. Some of us like that you don’t have to bend over as far to install or remove a post. The downside is the vegetation growth along the net, since it stays unmoved for so long. We spray an herbicide along the net to prevent growth. Lack of growth means less vegetation to drain the voltage from the net.

This was one of the best purchases Ive ever made. We are raising Boer goats and have 2 week old babies and I have no problem leaving them for the day alone with others. The fence has already held up to bad winds and never moved. If you are looking for perm fence or strip grazing this is the product. I am buying 3 more this week to strip a hill down that im tired of bush hoggin, safer for me.

I use the green/black 4 foot netting around my property to keep the dogs in and the coyotes out. It works GREAT!!! The green/black blends in with shrubs/yard very well. From a short distance you can't even tell there's a fence there.

We are thoroughly pleased with our purchase of the PermaNet Fencing. It allowed us to secure our sheep while permanent perimiter fencing was being installed. It has also enabled us to rotate pastures, easily moving the fence when necessary. The double stakes are great for our windy changeable weather. Your staff was very helpfull in recommending the right fence and charger for our farm. Thank you for great service and a great product.

We have been using the 150' rolls of this fencing for our goats, but in our thick brush and forest, it's hard to gather it up or distribute it without repeatedly snagging on branches or picking up loose sticks. When you are working alone, this is really frustrating. So this time we bought the 50' rolls for ease in handling! Also, when some accident happens (usually involving horses on the other side of the fence), we think shorter rolls will mean less fence line impacted.

The fence has worked great with our sheep. they have not even tried to get out, I think they feel comfortable because even though it is tall and a complete mesh panel they can still see me and the other animals. Set up was relatively easy and fast. If you watch the on line video and follow the steps, you will have no problem. Wonderful fencing purchase for the price!!

About Conductivity

Conductivity measures the amount of electrical current a material can carry. The opposite measure is known as resistance.

Many of Premier’s nets feature a green and white superconductor that has both stainless steel and tinned copper filaments for optimal conductivity. These “premium” nets are 10 times more conductive (38 ohms per 1000') than our “basic” nets. This enables the electric pulse to travel much farther and be less affected by weed contact.

We do not recommended the basic nets listed below for fences exceeding 500 ft in length:

Customers who are unhappy with netting are often those who’ve chosen one of these or their farmstore equivalents. Why do we offer them? Because they are similar in design and conductivity (380 ohms) to nets from our competitors—and comparisons make decisions easier.

Types of Line Posts

Line posts are built into the net. Three options are available.*

Single Spike (SS)The best choice, unless your soils are always soft or very hard.

Double Spike (DS)Posts allow you to push in the spikes with your foot. When soil is hard or rocky, double spikes are more difficult to install and remove.

Drivable Posts (DP)Allows use of a mallet or dead blow hammer for installing posts in dry, hard or rocky soil. Features a “spike stop” for extra support and internal fiberglass ribs for added strength.

Tip: To insert a line post into frozen or hard soil, use a power tool to drill pilot holes.

* Not all fences have all line post options.

About Positive/Negative (Pos/Neg) Nets

Is your area dry?

Conventional electrified fence systems rely on soil moisture to be effective. However, not all areas have the required moisture.

To overcome this, Pos/Neg nets* are wired to allow the use of every other horizontal strand as an extension of the ground terminal. Because half the strands are connected to the ground terminal or ground rod, reliance on soil moisture is reduced. A PowerLink must be purchased separately to make the secondary ground connection.

How it works…

In order to receive a shock, the animal must touch both a positive (hot) and negative (grounded) strand at the same time. This will deliver more pain to the animal than an all hot net (Pos/Pos) because moisture in the soil is not required to complete the circuit.

Pos/Neg fences can be converted to Pos/Pos in moist conditions. Remember, all fences must be kept free of vegetation.

* Not all fences have Pos/Neg options.

Line Post Spacing

“Plus” nets—6'8" spacings between line posts

Standard nets—10' or 12' spacings between line posts

Essential Energizer Advice

Buy a larger energizer than necessary. When the fence pleases, most folks will buy more fence—and need additional output.
